To begin, you start counting from zero and then suddenly stop. Your partner must

to pick up where your partner leaves off. Continue counting and alternating until you
reach 50 or another previously designated number. The player with more points at the
end wins.

With your classmates, play Birthday Lineup in French. In this activity all students will
line up in the chronological order of their dates of birth. Begin by asking one classmate
his or her birthday.
Modle:

A: Cest quand, ton anniversaire?


B: Mon anniversaire est le dix-huit mars.

Then, depending on when your birthday is, arrange yourself to the right or left of this
person. You will need to ask as many classmates as possible their dates of birth in order to
know if you should stand in line to the left or right of them. (Move to the left side of this
person if your birthday comes before his or hers; move to the right side of this person if
your birthday is after his or hers.) At the end when everyone is lined up in the correct birth
order, each of you will say in turn your date of birth. In this way the entire class can check
the accuracy of the lineup.

Go to the place that represents your favorite kind of reading. Pair up with a partner.
Each of you tells the other: 1. why you like these books; 2. the name of the last book of
this kind you read; 3. the author; and 4. a brief description of the plot. Then join the
other students in your corner and make a list of all your favorite titles. Put this list on

Look at all the lists. What can you say about the reading preferences of the class as a whole?
Do your classmates have varied, similar, or surprising tastes?
